It's been almost a year since we revealed our Binary Planting research project which identified 520+ remote execution vulnerabilities in almost all Windows applications. During this period, hundreds of binary planting vulnerabilities have been publicly reported and some have actually been fixed.

While some in the security community still seem to have a hard time understanding that binary planting doesn't only affect the loading of libraries but also stand-alone executables, we went further and "extended" the problem to all file types. This blog post reveals an interesting sample from our current research on what we call File Planting.
